Cuboid syndrome is a common reason for discomfort on the outside edge on the foot. The cuboid is a tiny cube design bone that is involved with three joints – the calcaneocuboid joint; the joint between the cuboid and also 5th metatarsal; as well as the joint in between the cuboid and also the outside cuneiform. The cuboid’s role is to behave as the lever for the tendon connected with peroneus longus muscle. This muscle is normally powerful and also produces high forces that go through the cuboid whenever the peroneus longus muscle contracts. It will be such forces that leads to cuboid syndrome.
